Spontaneous Combustion.

A blaze in the cabine of resident

the other day, and after them came
the Fire Marshal to investigate and

"The idea," continued the old man,
turning to the awe-struck bystanders,
"of his trying to disguise himself by
false moustache and wig. Que of
you fellows jerk that moustache off
and see how it changes his expression. ="
Nobody seemed disposed to unmask
the villain until strapping six-foot-
er pushed his way into the midst of
the group, and taking the moustache
by both ends, gave it a yank that fairly
lifted the young man to his feet. The
latter let off yell that would have
paralyzed Comanche Indian, and
struck out wildly with his fists.
"Great Scott" he shrieked "are
you trying to jerk the top of my head
Off Let 60 of that, will you? and
he kicked the six-footer vigorously in
the pit of the stomach. "What the
duce do you want of me, anyway
"Why, we thought you had on a
false moustache," ventured one of the
crowd timidly. "This old man said
so."
They all turned around to see what
the old man would say, but he didn't
say. He had gotten off when the
train slowed up at the last crossing.

Jerking His Moustache.

"There he sleeps as peacefully as an
infant" said an old man pointing to
the sleeping figure Of slender-built,
heavy moustached young man across
the aisle of the train, "and no doubt
he dreams of the innocent days of
childhood, before he had fallen into
the depths of crime"
whats the matter with him
Who is be?" asked several passengers,
eying the sleeper with suspicion.
"He sleeps as calmly" continued
the old man abstractedly to himself,
"as though he had never murdered
his partner, forged his name to check
for $4,000, and skipped to Mexico.
He thinks probably that no one can
penetrate his disguise, but should
know him in the dark with a mask on.
